"One of Europe’s premier piano trios"
When releasing their latest album in April 2022 the Dutch Written in Music outburst "one hell of a good piano trio", the British Jazz Journal strongly recommended and noted "the most captivating music I’ve heard in quite some while", while the Jazzwise highlighted it and wrote, "impresses once again". In other words, since their debut in 2017, the Kjetil Mulelid Trio has distinguished itself as one of Norway's leading piano trios with playing the world's nooks and crannies, and with two acclaimed follow-up albums in 2019 and 2022.
Indeed, this piano trio consists of some of Norway's most exciting young jazz musicians, whose members are heavily involved in projects such as Norwegian "Spellemann" winners ‘Morgonrode’ and nominee ‘Wako’ among other projects from the creative milieu in Norway. In the trio though, the focus is pared back to the classic acoustic piano trio featuring, predominantly, Mulelid’s beguiling compositions expertly balancing energetic, rhythmically complex and harmonically rich music with beautiful evocative melodies.
While the trio incorporates that sense of calm, unhurried yet constantly unfolding sound world which is distinctively Scandinavian, Mulelid, in concert with bassist Rune Nergaard and drummer Andreas Winther, effortlessly conjure additional layers, tones and textures, based upon group improvisations, and informed, in large part, by each others diverse musical experiences.
Kjetil Mulelid Trio is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
